Abstract: In a gas-bubble brick of refractory ceramic material, the visual detectability of a worn state is improved. The detectability should be independent of the material of the gas-bubble brick. For this purpose, a gas-permeable distance space 3, which has a different geometrical shape in the direction of wear, extends in the gas-bubble brick. As a result, a different pattern corresponding to the state of wear is visible on the surface of the gas-bubble brick when gas flows through the distance space 3.

Abstract: Tetracyclines having substantially no effective antibiotic or antibacterial activity and possessing anti-collagen-destructive enzyme activity or anti-collagenase activity and compositions containing the same have been found useful as anti-collagenolytic agents. Such tetracyclines and compositions containing the same are useful in the treatment of periodontal diseases, corneal ulcers, bone deficiency disorders, rheumatoid arthritis diseases characterized by excessive collagen destruction. A special aspect of this invention involves the incorporation of such tetracyclines in animal feed compositions for improved animal nutrition, such as may be evidenced by increased weight gain.

Abstract: In a hybrid vehicle wherein the rotation torque of a motor and engine are input to a continuously variable transmission, a target speed ratio is determined from a target engine rotation speed set based on a target drive torque of said vehicle and a vehicle speed. A target combined torque of the motor and engine is set based on the target drive torque and a real speed ratio of the transmission. A target motor torque is determined based on the target combined torque and the input rotation speed of the continuously variable transmission. A value obtained by subtracting the target motor torque from the target combined torque is set equal to a target engine torque. The drive force of the hybrid vehicle is optimized by controlling the engine, motor and continuously variable transmission by the target engine torque, target motor torque and target speed ratio thus obtained. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Small scale integrated chips are fabricated from a semiconductor wafer and subsequently pretested and formed into large area arrays with self aligning and self locking characteristics due to the axial orientation of the semiconductor wafer and geometries employed for the chips based upon the wafer orientation, whereby the spacing of abutting chip edges in an array may be less than 7  mu m. The chips are fabricated from <110> axial wafer, e.g., silicon <110> axial wafer, wherein the chip boundaries are aligned with vertical {111} planes of the crystalline material so that each of the chips formed from the wafer may be defined within parallelogrammatic like geometries defined by these planes and their intersections. The term "parallelogrammatic like geometries" means all geometric shapes capable of being formed with various vertical {111} planes within the crystalline structure of the wafer. Examples of such shapes are parallelograms of various aspect ratios and variations or combinations of planar figures composed of parallelograms. Specific examples of geometries are diamond shaped or chevron shaped configurations.

Abstract: The methods and reagents described in this invention are used to analyze circulating tumor cells, clusters, fragments, and debris. Analysis is performed with a number of platforms, including flow cytometry and the CellSpotter3 fluorescent microscopy imaging system. Analyzing damaged cells has shown to be important. However, there are two sources of damage: in vivo and in vitro. Damage in vivo occurs by apoptosis, necrosis, or immune response. Damage in vitro occurs during sample acquisition, handling, transport, processing, or analysis. It is therefore desirable to confine, reduce, eliminate, or at least qualify in vitro damage to prevent it from interfering in analysis. Described herein are methods to diagnose, monitor, and screen disease based on circulating rare cells, including malignancy as determined by CTC, clusters, fragments, and debris. Also provided are kits for assaying biological specimens using these methods.

Abstract: The invention provides a constant head dispensing package for flavouring concentrate or other liquids. Dispensing at constant head is explained in the specification, and the invention resides in that the compensating chamber outlet is made of smaller area than the interior of the compensating chamber to prevent the compensating chamber from filling up with concentrate when the package is inverted and reinverted as it will be by virtue of the nature of the design and use of the package. It is preferred that the ports connecting the interior of the compensating chamber and the package body be as large as possible.

Abstract: Provides a method for measuring the busy utilization time for I/O channel used by any of plural operating systems (OSs) in a CEC. The measured utilization time for any OS excludes the time shared channels are utilized by other OSs during a measurement period. A channel measurement facility (CMF) is provided in the I/O subsystem hardware and microcode for each of the OSs in the I/O subsystem. The CMF is logically constructed because it uses only a small portion of I/O resources already existing in a CEC by adding microcode to control these resources to perform the time measurement function. The resources for a logical CMF including the partial use of: an I/O processor to store identifiers of an assigned OS, the partial use of channel processors controlling channels selected by the assigned OS during a measurement period, the local storage of each I/O processor, and OS storage needed for communicating the measurement data from the CMF to the OS. Any CPU can control a measurement by issuing "set channel measurement" instructions for starting and stopping a measurement performed asynchronously by the CMF to release the CPU for other independent CPU operations during a measurement period. The instruction can also be used to test the status of any CMF.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for recovering information at a substantially constant rate from a rotable information storage disc (110). The information is stored on the disc (110) in a plurality of substantially circular and concentrically arranged information tracks, with a substantially uniform recording density, and it is recovered by controllably rotating the disc, relative to a transducer (128) at an angular velocity substantially inversely proportional to the radius of the corresponding track. The apparatus includes a coarse speed control potentiometer (130) for producing a measure of the radius of the particular information track from which information is being recovered, and fine speed control means (136) for comparing the relative phase angles of a periodic signal in the recovered information and a periodic reference signal and for producing a fine speed control signal proportional to the phase difference. The measure of radius and the fine speed control signal are summed together and coupled to a voltage-controlled oscillator (132) to produce a composite speed control signal, which is coupled to a servo (134) to rotate the disc (110) at a corresponding angular velocity.

Abstract: A process for scrubbing exhaust gases from diesel engines using filter cartridges of open pore ceramic foam are such that the filter cartridges are situated in the exhaust gas stream such that the exhaust gases strike the filter cartridge end and flow through it parallel to its central axis. As a result the amount of soot deposited is greatest in the part of the cartridge first meeting the inflowing exhaust gases, and decreases rapidly with increasing throughput; consequently the low efficiency part contributes greatly to the undesired backpressure. The proposed process, in which the exhaust gases flow through the most efficient part of the filter cartridge made of open pore ceramic foam, is such that the exhaust gases flow essentially transverse to the longitudinal axis and thus does not exhibit these disadvantages. The filter cartridge comprise an open pore ceramic foam for carrying out the process of the invention and comprises a cylinder with cylindrical shaped opening the central axis of which coincides with that of the cylinder. The opening can be closed at one end.
